Gord, again:

a pipe is a shot gun barrel cleared of country rock by the explosion caused by magma hitting the water table.

a pipe is not proper to kimberlite, any magma will cause such an explosion.

kimberlite breccia & kimberlite then fills the explosion crater.

the explosion MUST reach surface to clear the barrel of country rock thus forming a pipe.

clear enough ??
